Question :এক এক ঑ ১০% ক
৬৩০ ক , ক ?
[Sonali Bank officer -2014]
[Same As SEBL-2015]
Solution-1:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
10% profit on cost price Then market price=X + X of 10%
=1.1 X Tk
Again 10% profits on market price
Then Selling price
=1.1x + 1.1x of 10%
=1.21x Tk
Now profits=Selling - Cost Price
=(1.21x - x) Tk
=0.21x Tk
When,
Profit .21x Tk then Cost Price=X Tk
--------630 Tk--------------------------
=[(630*x)/.21x]
=3000 Tk
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost Price of the article=100 Tk
10% profit on cost price then
Market price=(100 + 100 of 10%)
=110 Tk
Again,
10% profits on market price then selling price=(110+110 of 10%) Tk
=121 Tk
Now,
Profit=(121-100)=21 Tk
When
Profit 21 Tk then Cost Price=100 tk
--------630 Tk -----------------------------------=[(100*630)/21]
=3000 Tk
Answer:3000 Tk
Solution-3:====
Short Cut/MCQ Way
Let , Cost Price=100 Tk
10% profits on both way
Profit
=10+10+[(10*100)/100]
=21 Tk
Profit 21 then CP =100 TK
-------630 TK --------=[100*630/21]
=3000 TK
Answer:3000 Tk

Solution: Let,
Unit digit = x
Tenth Digit = y
Original Number =10y+x
According to the First Condition,
x+y+5= 3y
Or x= 2y – 5 -----------[1]
Again
According to the question,
10x+y = 10y+ x – 9
Or, 9x – 9y= -9
Or, 9(2y–5) – 9y= -9
[Putting x value ]
Or, 18y – 45 – 9y = -9
Or, 9y = 36
Or, y = 4
Then, x = 2y – 5 = 2×4– 5 = 3
So the number =[10*4+3]=43

came back walking. Total time taken by him was 2 hrs. What is the distance in miles if he
runs 9 miles per hour?
Solution:Let,
Distance =x
Running speed = 9m/hr
So, walking speed = 9/3 = 3 m/hr According to the question,
x/9 + x/3 = 2
or, (x+ 3x)/9 = 2
or, 4x= 18
or, x= 4.5
Answer :4.5 miles
Question :The length of a rectangular field is 30 feet more than its width and the perimeter is
380 feet.What is the area of the field in square feet?
Solution:Let,
Width = x feet
Length = (x + 30) feet
According to question,
2{x + (x + 30)} = 380
or, 2x + 30 = 190
or, x = 160/2
or,x= 80
Now
Width = 80 feet
Length = (80 + 30) feet = 110 feet
So
Area of rectangle be
=110*80 = 8800 sq. feet
Answer :8800 sq.feet
♦ Similar But aktu difference

Question :The length of a rectangular field is 30 feet more than its width and the perimeter is
380 feet. How much would it cost to cover the field with grass at the rate of 20 Tk per square
feet?
Solution:Let,
Width = x feet
Length = (x + 30) feet
2{x + (x + 30)} = 380
or, 2x + 30 = 190
or, x = 160/2
or,x= 80
Now
Width = 80 feet
Length = (80 + 30) feet = 110 feet
So
Area of rectangle be
=110*80 = 8800 sq. feet
Cost to cover by grass
=8800*20

7.25% per year on next part of the loan in excess of Tk 600.How much interest will the
borrower pay on a loan of tk. 6500 for 1 year?
Solution:
Here,
Interest for the frist Tk 600
=[6.5*600]/100 =39Tk
Rest of the amount
=[6500 – 600]=5900 Tk
Interest for rest amount
=[7.25*5900]/100 = 427.75 Tk
Total interest = [427.75 + 39]
= 466.75 Tk

Precaution:=========
Most of the Guide Book this question answer is wrong
Such as 12/10 etc
Correct Answer:11 Days
Solution:1
Let,
Total work=1 portion
LCM of 2 & 3=6
Per 6 days A work= 6 days
Per 6 days B work=(6/2)=3 days
Per 6 days C work=(6/3)=2 days
So,
6 days (A+B+C)'s work
=(6/30+3/15+2/10) portion
=3/5 portion
Remaining work
=(1-3/5) portion
=2/3 portion
After 2 days(A+B)'s work
=(2/30+1/15)portion
=2/15 portion
[Every second days B help A]
Remaining work
=(2/5-2/15) portion
=4/15 portion
Total time=(6+2)=8 days
9th day(A+C) work
=(1/30+1/10) portion
=2/15 portion
Remaining work
=(4/15-2/15)portion
=2/15 portion
Another 2 days(A+B)'s work
=(2/30+1/15) portion
=2/15 portion
Remaining work
=(2/15-2/15)
=0
So total time taken to finish the work=(9+2)=11 days

600/x-600/(x+1/2)=200
Or,600/x-1200/(2x+1)=200
Or,2/x-{6/(2x+1)}=1
Or,(6x+3-6x)/{x(2x+1)}=1
Or,2x^2+3x-2x-3=0
Or,x(2x+3)-1(2x-3)=0
Or,(2x+3)(x-1)=0
Now,
X-1=0
Or,X=1

Solution-1:
Let,
Cost price of the article=100 TK
*25% profit first selling price
=(100+100 of 25%)=125 TK
*20% less cost price
=(100-100 of 20%)=80 TK

Answer:50 TK
(Alternative solution)
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost price be= x TK
First Selling price=(x+x of 25%)
=5x/4 TK
20% less cost price
=(100-20) or 80% of x=4x/5 TK
Second SP=(4x/5+4x/5 of 30%)
=26x/25 TK
(5x/4)-(26x/25)=10.50
=================
=================
Or, X=50
The cost price of the article=50 TK
Answer:50 TK
(Alternative solution)
Solution-3:
Let,
The cost price of the article is Tk100x
So, the selling price of the article is = Tk 100x + 25x = Tk 125x.
If he had bought it for(100x - 20x )= 80x, and sold it for (125x-10.50), the gain percentage
would have been 30%.
So,
or,80x × 0.30 = (125x-10.50) - 80x
Or,24x = 45x - 10.50
Or,21x = 10.50
Or,x = 10.50/21 = 0.50
So, the cost price of the article is = 100x = 100×0.5 = 50 tk
Answer:50 TK
##Preliminary Base Solution##
Sells-1=(100+25)=125 TK
Cost 20% less,
New cost=(100-20)=80 TK
Sells-2=80+80 of 30%=104 TK
Now,
Cost price=
(100*More or less)/(Sells1-Sells-2)
=(100*10.50)/(125-104)
=50 TK

Question :a, b, c, d, e are 5 consecutive numbers in increasing order, deleting one of them
from the set decreased the sum of the remaining numbers by 20% of the sum of 5. Which one
of the number is deleted from the set?
[Bangladesh Bank AD-2014]
[PBL SO-2013]
Solution-1:====
Since a,b,C,d,e are increasing order consecutive number
b=a+1
c=a+2
d=a+3
e=a+4
The sum of five numbers
=a+a+1+a+2+a+3+a+4
=5a +10
Now we are given that the sum decreased by 20% when one number was deleted
Hence,
The new sum should be
=(5a+10)-20% of( 5a+10)
=4a+8
Now,
New sum
=old sum- Dropped number
4a+8=5a+10-Dropped number
Dropped number=a+2=C
Answer:C
Solutions-2:====
Let, the consecutive numbers are,
a =1
b=1+1=2
c=1+2=3
d=1+3=4
e=1+4=5
So, Total = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Deleting one of the five numbers from the set then decreased 20% of the sum.
20% of the sum
=(15 x 20)/100
=3
So, the deleted number is the 3rd as c from the set
Answer :C
Solution-3:=====
Let,
C=x. b=x-1. a=x-2
d=x+1
e=x+2
Sum=x-2+x-1+x+x+1+x+2
=5x
Suppose,
The deleted number was=p
P=20% of 5x
P=x
Answer:C
Question :In a two digit number, the digit in the units place is more than twice the digit in
ten's place by 1. If the digits in the units place and the ten's place are interchanged, the
difference between the newly formed number and the original number is less than the original
number by 1, what is the original number?
[Janata Bank AEO-2015]
Solution:
Let,
Tenth’s digit = x,
Unit’s digit = 2x + 1,
So,
The number is =(10x + 2x + 1)
If the digit are interchange their place then alternate number
=10(2x + 1) + x
10(2x + 1)+x – {10x + (2x + 1)}=10x + (2x + 1) -1
Or, 20x + 10 + x - 10x - 2x - 1 = 12x
Or, 9x + 9 = 12x
Or, x = 3
So,
The Original number is
=(10*3 + 2*3 + 1) = 37
Answer :37
Question :A machine P can print 1 lakh books in 8 hour, Q can same in 10 hour & R can print
them in 12 hour. All the machine r started at 9 AM, while machine P in closed at 11 am and
the remaining two machine complete the work. Approximately at what time the work will be
finished?
[Janata Bank AEO-2015]
Solution:
(P + Q + R)'s
1 hour's work=(1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12) = 37/120
Work done by P, Q and R in 2 hours =(2*37/120) portion
= 37/60 portion
Remaining work
=(1 - 37/60) portion
= 23/60 portion
(Q + R)'s 1 hour's work
= (1/10 + 1/12) portion
= 11 /60 portion
Now, Q & R
11/60 part work is done in 1 hr.
1 part work is done by Q and R in
=1/(11/60)
= 60/11 hrs
So, 23/60 part work will be done by Q and R in
=(60 /11)*( 23/60)
= 23/11 hours
= (23*60)/11 mins
= 125 mins (approx.)
So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours 5 mins. after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1.05

Tk 7/kg,making profit of 20%. What was the ratio of the mixture?
*Janata Bank EO -2012
*Rupali Bank SO-2013
*Bangladesh Bank AD-2014
Solution -1:
Let,
Rahim bought x kg rice at tk 5 & y kg rice at tk 6/kg
So, total cost =(5x + 6y) Tk
Selling price = (7x + 7y) Tk
20% profit = 20% of(5x + 6y)
= (5x + 6y)/5
Selling price -Cost price =Profit
(7x + 7y) - (5x + 6y) = (5x + 6y)/5
Or, 2x + y = (5x + 6y)/5
Or, 10x + 5y = 5x + 6y

2. A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 meters long. He finds that a train
crosses the bridge in 20 seconds and crosses him in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train and
its speed.
solution-1:
Actually The Train
(20-8)=12 second goes 180 meters
So, The 20 sec goes=[(180*20)/12]
=300 meter
So,Length of train
=(300-180)=120 meter
And
Speed of train
=(120/8)m/s
=[(120/8)*18/5]km/hr
=54 km/hr
Answer:120 meter & 54 km/hr
Solution-2:=========
Let,
Length of the train =x
(180+x)/20=x/8
=>20x=144+8x
=>12x=1440
=>x=120
Solving equation x=120
Speed=[120*3600/8]
=54000 meter
=54 km
So length =120 meter
speed =54 km/hr
Answer:120 meter & 54 km/hr

4. The sum of the present age of father and son is 50 years, when son's age will be equal to
the father's present age then the sum of their age shall be 102, what is father's present age?
Solution-1:
Let,
Father present age=F years
Son's present age =S years
So,
F+S =50........(1)
When son age equal to father present age the sum of their age=102 years
Total age increased=(102-50)
=52 years
Individual age increased
=52/2=26 years
After 26 years later son's age equal to father age
S+26=F

from Equations 1 & 2
Father =38 years
Son =12 years
Answer:38 years
Solution-2:
Let,
father's age=x
son's age=50-x
Difference of their age=x-(50-x) =2x-50
So after 2x-50 years son age will be equal to father's present age
x+x+2x-50=102
=>x=38
So father's age=38 years
son's age=50-38=12 years
Answer:38 years
5. By selling a table for tk 39 gain is as much percentage as its cost. what is the cost price?
Solution:
Let,
Cost price =x
x% gain selling price = x×x/100
x+ x*x/100=39
=> 100x+x^2 =3900
=> x^2+130x-30x-3900=0
=> (x+130)(x-30)=0
So, x=-130 [Not accepted]
or
x-30=0
So x=30
The cost price 30 Tk

6. A boat takes 3 hours to travel to a certain distance with the stream, and returns to the
original place in 5 hours. How long will it take to travel the same distance in stationary
water?
{Sonali Bank Senior Officer(IT)-2016}
Solution-1:
Let,
Speed of boat in stationary water=x
Speed of current=y
Downstream Speed=(x+y) km/hr
Upstream Speed=(x-y) km/h
We know,
Distance=speed*time
Downstream distance=3(x+y)
Upstream distance=5(x-y)
3(x+y)=5(x-y)
Or,3x+3y=5x-5y
Or,x=4y
Distance=3(x+y)
=3*5y
=15 y
Time taken to the same distance in stationary water
=15y/4y
=3 hrs 45 minutes
Answer:3 hrs 45 minutes
Solution-2:
Let, the speed of the boat = x kmph,
the speed of the stream = y kmph,
and the distance = d km.
According to the question:
x+y = d/3 ----------- (i)
&
x-y = d/5 ----------- (ii)
(i) + (ii) =>
2x = d/3 + d/5 = 8d/15
x = 4d/15
Required time = Distance/Speed = d/x= d/(4d/15) = 15/4 hrs = 3hrs and 45mins.
Ans: 3 hours and 45 minutes.
7. A man has Tk300000. He invests a part of the amount at 8%, and the remaining amount at
10% p.a. At the end of the year he earns a profit of Tk25600 from his entire investment. Find
the amount he invested under each rate.
Solution:
Suppose,
He invested Tk x at 8% rate.
So, He invested Tk (300000-X) at 10% rate.
0.08X + 0.1(300000-X) = 25600
Or, 0.08X + 30000 - 0.1X= 25600
Or,0.02X = 4400
Or,X= 4400/0.02
Or, X= 220000
So, he invested Tk220000 at 8% rate,
and Tk(300000-220000) or Tk80000 at
10% rate.
Ans: Tk220000 at 8%, Tk80000 at 10%.
8. M purchased a 30-inch TV whose height was 18 inches. If the size of a TV is expressed as

the lengths of its diagonal, find the width of the TV M purchased.
-------------------------------------
Solution:
Let,
The width of the TV = X inches.
X² + 18² = 30²
Or, X² = 900 - 324
Or, X² = 576
Or, X = 24
So, the width of the TV is 24 inches.

9. The ratio of the girls and boys in a class was 2:5. If two new girls join the class, the ratio
becomes 1:2. What was the total number of students in the class?
Solution:
Let,
the number of girls =2p, the number of boys=5p
And the total number of students in the class=2p+5p=7p
(2p+2) : (5p) = 1 : 2
Or, (2p+2)/(5p) = 1/2
Or, 5p = 4p + 4
Or, p = 4
So, the total number of students in the class was = 7×4 =28.
Ans: 28
10. How many liters of a solution that is 15% salt must be added to 5 liters of a solution that
is 8% salt so that the resulting solution is 10% salt?
Solution:
Suppose,
X liters of 15% should be added.
15% of X + 5×0.08= 10% of (X+5)
Or, 0.15X + 0.4 = 0.10(X+5)
Or, 0.15X + 0.4 = 0.10X + 0.5
Or, 0.15X- 0.10X = 0.5 - 0.4
Or, 0.05X = 0.1
Or, 5X = 10
Or, X = 2
Ans: 2 liters.

11.The time taken for covering a distance of x km in downstream is equal to the time taken to
cover (x-18) km in upstream. The speed of upstream is 6 km/hr less than the speed
downstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 15km/hr, then find the value of x.
Solution:
The speed of the boat in fixed water = 15 kmph
Let, the speed of the water current = v kmph
Downstream Speed=(15+v) km/hr
Upstream Speed=(15-v)km/hr
So,
Then the difference between the upstream & downstream speed will be
= {(15+v)-(15-v)}
= 2v
Given,
2v= 6
=>v= 3 kmph
So, the downstream speed=18 kmph &
Upstream speed = 12 kmph
Now,
Time=Distance/Speed
(x-18)/12 = x/18
=> x= 54
So the value of x = 54
Answer:54 km

14. 10% of the voters did not cast their vote in an election between two candidates. 10% of
the votes polled were found invalid. The successful candidate got 54% of the valid votes and
won by a majority of 1620 votes. Find the number of voters enrolled on the voters list.
[Bangladesh Bank IT-2016]
Solution-1:
Successful candidate gots=54%
Other candidate got=(100-54)=46%
Successful candidate got majority
=(54-46)%
=8%
8%---------------------=1620
100%-----------------=[(1620*100)/8]
=20250
Invalid vote=10%
So valid vote=(100-10)=90%
Now,
90% vote =20250
And 100% vote=[(20250*100)/90]
=22500
From question Did not cast vote=10%
Cast vote=(100-10)=90%
So,
90% cast vote=22500
100% or total voters
=[(22500*100)/90]
=25,000

15 .Two friends P and Q started a business investing in the ratio of 5: 6 R joined them after
six months investing an amount equal to that of Q 's .At the end of the year ,20% profit was
earned which was equal to tk 98000.What was the amount invested by R?
[Bangladesh Bank IT-2026]
Solution-1:
Suppose,
The total profit be z Tk
Then,
20% of z = 98000
Or, z =(98000∗100)/20
Or, z= 4,90,000
Total profit after one year =4,90,000 Tk
Let ,
the capitals of P, Q and R be
5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 6x respectively.
Then,
5x*1+6x*1+6x * 1/2= 490000
Or, (10x +12x+6x)/2=490000
Or,28x=490000*2
Or, x=35000
So, R's investment=(6*35000)

=210000 Tk
Answer:210000 Tk
Solution-2:
Suppose,
The total profit be z Tk
Then,
20% of z= 98000
Z= (98000∗100)/20
Or,z= 4,90,000
Let ,
the capitals of P, Q and R be
5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 6x respectively.
Then,
(5x * 12)+(6x * 12)+(6x * 6)= 490000 * 12
Or,168x = 490000 * 12
Or, x = (490000∗12168)

29.A can do a piece of work in 8 days which B can finish in 12 days. If they work at it on
alternate days with A beginning, In how many days, the work will be finished?
Solution:
(A+B)'s 2days work =(1/8+1/12)
=5/24
So (A+B)'s 8days work =(5*4/24)
=20/24
work left= (1-20/24)=4/24 =1/6..
at 9th day, A's 1days work = 1/8
work left =(1/6-1/8) =1/24
B can do 1/12 portion of work in= 1day

so 1/24 portion of work can be done in =12/24 days
=1/2 day..
so work will be finished in (8+1+1/2) = 9.5 days
Answer:9.5 days
30.When a producer allows 36% commission on the price of his product, earns a profit of
8.8% what would be his profit percent if the commission is reduced by 24%?[PBL SO/O-
2014]
Solution:
Let,
cost price of the product=Tk.100
8.8% profits on cost price then
Selling price of product
=(100+100 of 8.8%)=108.8 Tk
36% commission on cost price then Selling=(100-100 of 36%)=64 Tk
When
SP is 108.8 Tk then cp=100 Tk
SP-----64----------------=(100*64)/108.8
=58.82 Tk
If the commission is reduced by 24% then actual commission gave
=(36-34)=12%
12% commission on cost price then Selling price=(100-12)=88 Tk
Profit=(88-58.82)=29.18 Tk
Now,
Profit percent he got
=[(29.18*100)/58.82]=49.6%

32.A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the room at Tk. 5 per
sq.m is Tk.270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Tk.10 per sq.m is Tk.1720. If a door
and 2 windows occupy 8 sq.m.Find the dimensions of the room.
[PBL SO/OFFICER-2016]
Solution:
Let,
Breadth of room= x
Length of room= (x+x/2) = 3x/2
Area of floor
= Total carpet cost/ rate
= 270/5
= 54 square meter
3x*x/2 = 54
x=6
From the equation we find,
Breadth = 6m
Length= 3*6/2 = 9m
Now,
Papered area,
= (1720/10) sq. km
= 172 sqm
So,
Area of one door and two window = 8 sq.m
Total area of 4 walls
= (172+8)
= 180 sq.m.
Now,
Area of four wall
=[2(length+breadth)]*height
2(6+9)*h = 180
30h = 180
h=6
So,
Breadth= 6m
Length= 9m
Height = 6m
Answer: 6,9 & 6 meter
33.A man deposited Tk. 50000 at a certain interest for 1 year. After 1 year he received
Tk.55280 as both principal & interest after deduction of Tk.120 as government levy and 10%
on interest as government tax. what was the interest rate in percentage?
Solution:
Here,
Deposited amount=50000 Tk
Interest after deducting Tax and Levy
( 55280-50000)
= Tk.5280
Interest Before deducting levy
=5280+120
= Tk.5400
10%interest as government tax
Now,
(100-10)=90% =5400;
then 100% ≡ 5400*100/90
= Tk.6000
That is, Interest before deducting Tax and Levy = Tk.6000
So, Interest Rate

= (6000/50000)*100
= 12%
Answer:12%

35.Abul & Balam ran a race of 480 m. In the first heat, Abul gives Balam a head start of 48 m
and beats him by 1/10th if a minute. In the second heat, Abul gives Balam a head start of 144
m and is beaten by 1/30th of a minute. What is Balam's speed in m/s?
[DBBL PO-2016]
Solution:
In first heat, Balam gets a head start of 48 m
Thus the distance travelled by Balam in first heat
= (480-48)
= 432m
1/10th of a minutes= 6 seconds beat by him
In 2nd heat Balam travelled
= (480-144)
=336m
1/30th of a minutes= 2 seconds
Let,
Balam's speed= S m/s
(432/S)-6= (336/S)+2
=> 432/S-336/S= 6+2
=> 432-336/S= 8
=>96= 8S
=>S= 96/8
so, S= 12m/s
Answer:12 m/s
36. A 20 liter mixture of milk and water contains milk and water in the ratio 3:2. 10 liters of
the mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk and the operation is repeated once more.
At the end of the two removal and replacement, what is the ratio of milk and water in the
resultant mixture?
[DBBL PO-2016]
Solution:
Step-1:
Ratio of milk & water=3:2
Milk in the mixture= 20 x 3/5 = 12 ltr
Water in the mixture= 20 x 2/5 = 8 ltr
Ratio = 3 : 2
Step-2:
After removal of10 liters mixture,the amount of milk will be = 10 x 3/5 = 6 ltr
water = 10 x 2/5 = 4 ltr.
After pouring 10 ltr. Of pure milk,

New mixture
Milk = 12 - 6 + 10 = 16 ltr.
Water = 8 - 4 + 0 = 4 ltr
Ratio = 16 : 4 = 4 : 1.
Step-3
[ 10 liters replaced ]
milk = 10 x 4/5 = 8 ltr
water = 10 x 1/5 = 2 ltr
Now addition of pure milk 10 ltr.
Milk = 8 + 10 = 18 ltr.
Water = 2 ltr.
Ratio = 18 : 2 = 9 : 1
Ans: 9 : 1
37.During a special promotion a certain filling station is offering 10% discount on gas
purchased after 10 gallons.If kim purchased 20 gallons of gas and Zeny purchased 25 gallons
of gas the zenis total per gallon discount is what percent of kims total per gallon discount?
Solution:
Kim paid

40. A retailer buys 40 pens at the market price of 36 pens from a wholesaler. If he sells these
pens giving a discount of 1%, what is the profit percent?
[PBL CASH-2016]
Solution:
Let,
40 of pens cost price=36 SP =x Tk
cp of each pen =x/40 Tk
sp of each pen=x/36 Tk
Deducting 1% discount, sp
= 99%*x/36
=99x/3600
profit =99x/3600 - x/40
=9x/3600
Profit percentage
=[(9x/3600)/(x/40)]*100
=10%
Answer:10%
Alternative Solution: by (Sarker Mamun)
Let, Market price of each pen be Tk.100,
So, market price of 36 pens
=Tk. 3600
Then, Buying price of 40 pens =Tk.3600
So, Buying price of each pen
= 3600/40
=Tk.90
At 1% discount, SP =99% of 100
=Tk. 99
So, Profit =99 –90
=Tk. 9
Profit %=9*100/90
=10%(Ans.)
41.In 2016, the number of pairs of the shoes that a company sold to retailers decreased by 20
percent, while the price per pair increased by 20 percent from that of the previous year. The
company's revenue from sales of the shoes in 2016 was taka 300000. What was the revenue
from the sale of the shoes in previous year?
[JBL AEO (IT)-2016]
Solution:
Let,
In 2015 The company sold 100 pair of shoes
and
Price was Tk. 100 per pair.
So,Total Revenue 2015 was
=(100×100)
= Tk. 10000 Tk.
So, Revenue in 2016 was
Tk. 120×80= Tk. 9600.
Thus, actual revenue in 2015 was Tk. (3,00,000×10000)/9600
= Tk. 3,12,500
Answer:3,12,500 Tk
Alternative Solution:
Let,
Previous year,
Shoes sold = x numbers
and
price per shoes=y Tk
Total revenue= xy Tk.
In 2016,
Shoes sold = (x- 0.20x) numbers and price per shoes=(y+0.20y) Tk.
(x- 0.20x)× (y+0.20y)= 300000
Or, 0.80x ×1.20y=300000
Or,xy = 312500
Total revenue= 3,12,500 Tk.
Answer:3,12,5000 Tk

in a business. After 3 months Mr. Sumon added 1000 Tk more and Dilip invested with 7000
Tk in the same business. What is the share of profit among them after one year if profit is
36000 Tk?[JBL AEO (IT)-2016]
Solution:
Equivalent amount of Sumon
= 5000×12+ 1000× 9= 69,000 Tk.
Equivalent amount of Shimul
= 4000×12= 48, 000 Tk.
Equivalent amount of Dilip= 7000×9= 63,000 Tk.
Sumon: Shimul : Dilip
= 69,000: 48,000 : 63,000
= 69: 48: 63

45.16 men can finish a piece of work in 49 days.14 men started working in 8 days they could
finish certain amount of work. If it is required to finish the remaining work in 24 days..How
many more men should be added to the existing workforce?
{Important Math}
Solution:
Let,
16 men can do in 49 days 1 portion
16 men can do in 1 day 1/49 part
So,
1men can do in 1 day = (1/49)*16
14m can do in 8 days= [(14*8)/(49*16)]= 1/7 portion
Work Remaining
= (1 - 1/7)
= 6/7 portion
1/7 part of the work done in 8 days by 14 men

So, 6/7 part of the work done in 24 days by
= [(14*7*8*6)/7*24 ]
= 28 men
More men needed

= 28-14 = 14 men

54.A can do a piece of work in 10 days, while B can do it in 15 days.They work together for
5days and rest of the work done by C in 2 days.If they get tk 4500 for the whole work, how
should they divide the money? (RAKUB officer-2016)
Solution:
A can do in 1 day = 1/10 part work
A can do in 5 days =5/10= ½ part work
B can do in 1 day=1/15 part work
B can do in 5 days=5/15=1/3 part work
In 5 days (A+B) work
= (1/2+1/3)

60. Tk.1500 is invested at a rate of 10% simple interest and interest is added to the principal
after every 5 years. in how many years will it amount to tk.2500 ?
Solution:
Here,
P=1500 Tk
T=5 years
R=10%
For first 5 year interest
=(1500*10*5)
=750
So principal after 5 year
=(1500+750)= 2250.
Now interest
=(2500-2250)
36
= 250 Tk
Again
I=250 Tk
P=2250 Tk
R=10%
Then,
T= (250*100)/(2250*10)
= 10/9 years
So total year= 5+10/9
= 6 years 1 month 10 days or 6.11 years taken to receive 2500 Tk

65. By selling 100 bananas, a fruit-seller gains the selling price of 20 bananas. His gain
percentage is ? {Very Important Math}.
Solution:
Let,
selling price of a banana is 1 tk.
so, selling price of hundred banana is 100tk.
gain =20 tk
cost =100-20=>80tk
cost price 80 taka than profit 20
cost price 100taka than profit 20/80*100
=25%
Ans:25%
Alternative:
We know,
Gain = (S.P. of 100 bananas) - (C.P. of 100 bananas)
⇒ (S.P.of 20) = (S.P of 100) - (C.P. of 100)
⇒ S.P.of 80 = C.P. of 100
Let,
C.P. of each banana = Tk. 1
C.P. of 80 banana = Tk. 80
S.P. of 80 banana = Tk. 100
Gain=100-80=Tk.20
Required percentage = (20 / 80) x 100 % = 25%
Ans:25%

10. A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days, B and C can do it in 24 days, A and C can do
it in 36 days. In how many days will A, B and C finishes it, working together and separately?
[Bangladesh Bank AD -2017
Solution:
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/18
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/24
(A + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/36
2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work
=1/18 + 1/24 + 1/36=9/72
=1/8 portion of the work
(A +B + C)'s 1 day's work
So,(A +B + C) together can finish the work in 16 days.
A’s 1 day's work

=1/16 – 1/24
= 1/48 portion of the work
A alone can finish the work in 48 days.
B's 1 day's work

= 1/16 – 1/36
B alone can finish the work in 144/5=28.8 days
C’s 1 day work

=1/16-1/18
C alone can finish the work in 144 days.
Ans: Together=16 days, A=48 days, B=28.8 days and C=144 days.
11.A alone can do a piece of work in 20 days, while B alone can do it in 30 days and C alone
can do it in 60 days.If in every third day B in every fourth day C help A in doing the work
,how many days will be required to complete the whole work?
[34 & 32 th BCS Written Exam]
Solution:
Let,
LCM of 3 & 4= 12

In 12 days, (A+B+C)'s work

=(12/20+4/30+3/60)
=47/60 part of the work
Remaining work
=(1-47/60)
[Every third day B help A in doing the work]

Again, in 3 days (A+B)'s work
=(3/20+1/30)
Remaining work
=(13/60-11/60)
=2/60=1/30 part of the work
On the16th day, (A+C)'s work =1/20+1/60=1/15 part of the work
1/15 part of work is done by (A+C) in 1 day

1/30 part of work is done by (A+C) in 15*(1/30)=1/2 day
Total Time taken to complete the whole work

=(12+3+1/2)
=15.5 days
Ans: 15.5 days

X and Y be cost of the equities type of A & B

The cost of 4 equities of A=4 X
The cost of 5 equities of B=5Y
4X + 5 Y =27
Let,
4X=P
5Y=Q
So P is multiple of 4 & Q is multiple of 5
Now
P+Q=27
Or, P=27-Q
Since,Q is multiple of 5
Q=5,10,15,20-------etc
Q=5; P=27-5=22 is not multiple of 4

Q=10;P=27-10=17 is not multiple of 4
Q=15;P=27-15=12 is multiple of 4
So
Q=15
P=12
Now
P=4X
Or,X=12/4=3
Q=5Y
Or,Y=15/5=3
Therefore,
2 equities of A & 3 equities of B

*[AB Bank -2002]
*[Al Arafa Bank-2016]
*[Meghan Bank-2014]
*[Premier Bank-2010]
*[One Bank-2008]
Solution:
The sum of Weight
A+B+C = 84×3 = 252 kg------(1)
If D join,total Weight of

So, the weight of D

=320 - 252 = 68 kg
And weight of E = 68+3 = 71 kg

Again, the sum of Weight of B+C+D+E = 79×4 = 316 kg
Weight of B+C+68+71 = 316 kg
B+C = 316-139 =177 kg
Putting the value of (B+C) equation no (1)
A+B+C=252
Or,A+177=252
Or, A=(252-177)=75

21:A,B,C started a job which they can complete in 2 days.B can do the job in 5 days and C
can do it in 4 days.After working for 1 day,both B & C left. A complete testbed of the work
how many days?
Solution:
Let,
Total portion work be 1 portion
(A+B+C) 1 day do the job =1/2 portion
B & C 1 day do the job
=(1/5+1/4) portion
=9/20 portion
So,
A 1 day done the job
=(1/2-9/20) portion
=1/20 portion
Remaining work=(1-1/2)=1/2 portion
A 1/20 portion job done=1 day
A 1/2 portion job done=(20/2)
=10 days

23.A number consists of three digits whose sum is 10.The middle digit is equal to the sum of
the other two and the number will be increased by 99 if these two digit are reversed.What is
the number?
[DBBL AO-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Unit digit = x
Tenth digit = y
&
Hundred digit = z
So, The original number
=100z+10y+x
1st condition,
x+y+z=10-------------------(1)
2nd condition,
y=x+z----------------------(2)
If unit digit & Hundred digit are interchanged their place the new number is =100x +10y +z
(100x +10y +z)-(100z+10y+x)=99
===========================
===========================
Or, z=x-1-------------------(3)
Putting the value of z in equation(2)
y= x+x-1
Or, y=2x -1----------(4)
again,
Putting the value of y and z in equation(1)
x+2x -1+x -1=10
Or, x=3
Now,putting the value of x in equation(4)
y=5
Putting the value of x & y in equation(1)
Z=2
Hence, the original Number is
= (100*2)+(10*5)+3
=253

24.A picnic was arranged by 'm' students.Total cost of picnic was estimated to be 'y'
Tk.Unfortunately, z students withdrew their names from the picnic.How many more tk would
each of the remaining students have to pay?
[DBBL AO-2017]
Solution:
Given that,
Total student = m
&
Total cost of picnic was estimated to be= y tk
So Cost per student was = y/m Tk
Since z student withdrew their name from picnic,
Now remaining student=(m-z)
And
Nwe cost per student is = y/(m-z)
So, Extra cost needed for rest of the stds now = y/(m-z) -y/m
= yz/m(m-z)
Answer: yz/m(m-z)

28.Each person in a group of 110 investors has investments in either equities or securities or
both. Exactly 25% of the investors in equities have investments in securities, and exactly 40%
of the investors in securities have investments in equities.How many have investment in
equities?
Solution:
The investors can be categorized into three groups:
(1) Those who have investments in equities only.
(2) Those who have investments in securities only.
(3) Those who have investments in both equities and securities.
Let ,
x, y, and z denote the number of people in the respective categories. Since the total number of
investors is 110, we have
x + y + z = 110 ------------- (1)
Also,
The number of people with investments in equities is x + z
and
The number of people with investments in securities is y + z.
Since exactly 25% of the investors in equities have investments in securities, we have the
equation
25% of (x+z)=z
x = 3z ------------------- (2)
Since exactly 40% of the investors in securities have investments in equities, we have the
equation
40% of (y+z)=z
y = {3z}/2 -------------------- (3)
Substituting equations (2) and (3) into equation (1) yields

3z+(3z/2)+z=110
===============
Or, Z=20
Hence,
the number of people with investments in equities is:
=x+z
=3z+z
=3×20+20
=60+20
=80
Answer:80

4 play chess, carom and table tennis together. Find the number of students who play chess
and carom but not table tennis.
[Janata Bank AEO-RC-2017]
Solution:
Let ,
Number of students play chess=n(A)
Number of students play carom =n(B)
And
Number of students play table tennis=n(C)
Given that,
n(U)=40
n(A)=18
n(B)=27
n(C)=20
n(A^C) = 7
n(B^C)=12
and
n(A^B^ C)=4
Suppose,
n(A^B)=?
We know that
n(U)= n(A)+ n(B)+n(C)-n(A^B) -n(B^C)- n(A^C)+n(A^B^C)
Or,40=18+27+20-7-12-n(A^B)+4
Or,40=50-n(A^B)
Or, n(A^B)=10
But there are 4 people who play all three games.
So,
The number of who play chess and carom but not table tennis
=n(A^B)-n(A^B^C)
=10-4
=6

32. Aslam and Babul invested in a business in the ratio 3:2. Assume that 5 percent of total
profit goes to workers' provident fund. If Aslam's share is Tk. 855000, what is the amount of
total profit?
Solution:
Suppose,
Aslam's profit share is = 3x
And Babul's profit share is = 2x
So, total profit after Worker Profodend Fund deduction (i.e: 95% of total profit)
= 3x+2x = 5x
3x = 855000
Or, x=855000/3
So,
5x = 855000×5/3 = 1425000
According to the question, 5% of total profit goes to workers profident Fund

So, the remaining 95% of profit is distributed between Aslam and Babul.
So, 95% of total profit = 1425000

100% of total profit = 1425000×100/95 = 1500000
Ans: Tk. 1500000
33. Alam invested an amount of Tk. 13900 divided in two different deposits at Bank X and
Bank Y at the simple interest rate of 14 percent and 11 percent per annum, respectively. If the
total amount of simple interest earned in two years is Tk. 3058, what was the amount invested
in the deposit of Bank Y?
Solution:
Suppose, the amount invested in Bank Y was = Tk. M
So, the amount invested in Bank X was = Tk. (13900-M)
.
2{14(13900-M)/100 + 11M/100}= 3058
(194600 - 14M + 11M)/100 = 1529
Or, M = 13900
Ans: Tk. 13900.

36. Given a = 3 + 2√2, find the value of (√a - 1/√a)

Solution:
Given that,
a = 3 + 2√2
Or, a = 2 + 1 + 2√2
Or, a= (√2)² + 2×√2×1 + 1²
Or, a = (√2 + 1)²
so, √a = (√2+1)
And,
1/√a = 1/(√2+1)
= (√2-1)/{(√2+1)(√2-1)}
= (√2-1)
Therefore,
√a - 1/√a = (√2+1) - (√2-1) = 2.

and a hat is z
4x+4y+2z = 5600 ----------------- (i)
9x+9y+6z = 12900 --------------- (ii)
From (ii) no equation,
Or, 9x+9y+6z= 12600
Or, 3x +3y+2z =4300------------(iii)
(i) no equation--(ii) no equation=>

4x + 4y + 2z =5600
3x + 3y + 2z =4300
---------------------------------
Or, x + y =1300 ---------(iv)
(I) --(ii)*4 =
4x + 4y + 2z=5600
4x +4y. =1300*4
-----------------------------------
Or , 2 z =400
Or, z =200

38.Mr. X borrowed Tk. 500 at 5% simple interest per year. After some time, he borrowed Tk.
400 at 3.5% simple interest per year for the second time. Six months after the second time
borrowing, he repaid both the borrowed money along with interest and the amount repaid was
Tk. 994.50. How many years after the first time borrowing Mr. X repaid the borrowed
money?
[Bank ASIA MTO -2017]
[KSB SO-2013]
[23th BCS WRITTEN]
Solution:
Total amount=(400+500)=900 Tk
Total interest=(994.5-900)=94.5 Tk
3.5% interest rate

400 Tk 1/2 years interest
=[(7*400)/(2*100*2)]
= 7 Tk.
Remaining interest=(94.5-7)=87.5 Tk
5% rate of interest
500 Tk 1 years interest
=(5*500/100)=25 Tk
25 Tk interest for 1 years

87.5 Tk interest(87.5/25)=3.5 years
So after 3.5 years then he took second amount

Answer:3.5 years

43.The total cost price of two watches is Tk. 840. One is sold at a profit of 16% and the other
at a loss of 12%. There is no loss or gain in the whole transaction. The cost price of the watch
on which the shopkeeper gains, is-
Solution:
Let,
Cost price of first watch is Tk x
So,
Cost price of Second watch
=Tk (840-x)
16% profits Selling price of first watch={(116*x)/100} Tk
12% loss SP of second watch
={88*(840-x)/100} Tk
(116x/100)+{(88*840-88x)/100}=840
or, (116x+ 73920-88x)/100=840
or, 28x+73920= 84000
or, 28x = 84000-73920
or, x= 100840/28
or, x= 360
Now, Cost price of first watch
= 360 Tk
C.p. of second = (840-x) = (840-360)= 480Tk.(answer
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost price of first watch is tk.x
And cost price of second watch is tk(840-x)
16% of x = 12% of (840-x)
Or, 16x = 12*(840-x)
Or, 16x = 10080 -12x
Or, 28x = 10080
Or, x = 360
And cost price of other watch is
=(840-360)
=480 Tk
So , cost price of two watches are 360 & 480

10% p.a., 12% p.a. and 15% p.a. respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Tk.
3200 and the amount invested in Scheme C was 150% of the amount invested in Scheme A
and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme B, what was the amount invested in Scheme B ?
Solution:
Let,
A's investment was x Tk
From question conditions,
C' investment was
=150% of A
=(150/100) of X
=3x/2 Tk
And
C =240% of B
Or, 3x/2=(240/100) of B
Or, B =5x/8
10%of x+(5x/8)of 12%+(3x/2)of 15%=3200
Or, (10x/100)+(12*5x)/(8*100)+(15*3x)/(2*100)=3200

ratio of the mixture of two variety rice?
[Janata Bank EO -2012]
[Rupali Bank SO-2013]
Solution -1:
Let,
20% profit = 20% of(5x + 6y)
= (5x + 6y)/5
Selling price -Cost price =Profit
(7x + 7y) - (5x + 6y) = (5x + 6y)/5
Or, 2x + y = (5x + 6y)/5
Or, 10x + 5y = 5x + 6y
Or, 5x = y

58.It takes 120 metric tone water to sink a ship.Through a hole in the full of the ship,water is
entering the ship at a rate of 2 metric tone per minute. At the same time,water is being
pumped out at the rate 1.5 metric tone per minute using one pump. After 1 hour and 20
minutes another pump of same capacity was started. How much more time will it take to
pump all the water out of the ship?
[BGFCL-2017]
Solution:
Here,
Water enter ship per minute
=2 metric tone
Water pumped out per minute
=1.5 metric tone
Water entered more per minute
=(2-1.5)=.5 metric tone
**After 1 hr & 20 minutes or 80 minutes
Water poured =(80*.5)=40 MT
After 80 minutes another capacity
pumped out pump started
So two pump pumped out water per minute=(1.5+1.5)=3 metric. tones
And 1 minute more water
pumped out=(3-2)=1 metric tone
Now,
1MT pumped out =1 minute

60.Twenty-four men can complete a work in sixteen days.Thirty-two women can complete
the same work in twenty-four days. Sixteen men and sixteen women started working for
twelve days. How many more men are to be added to complete the work remaining work in 2
days?
[PBL SO/Officer-2017]
Solution:
Here,
24 men can complete in 16 days 1 portion work
1 man can complete in 1 day=1/(16*24)
=1/384 portion
Again,
32 women can complete in 24 days 1 portion
1 woman can complete in 1 day=1(32*24)
=1/768 portion
Both,
1man +1 woman work in 1 day=(1/384+1/768)
16 men +16 women work 12 days
=[(16*12)/384 + (16*12)/768] portion
=(1/2+1/4) portion
=3/4 portion
Remaining work
=1-3/4
=1/4 portion
Let,
X more men should be added then the remaining work complete in 2 days
Total men =(16+x)
1 man in 1 day done=1/384 portion
(16+x) men in 2 days done=(16+x)*2/384 portion
Similarly,
16 women in 2 days done=(16*2)/768 portion

(16+x)*2/384 +32/768=1/4
Or,(32+2x)/384=1/4-32/768
Or,(32+2x)/384=(192-32)/768
Or,(32+2x)/384=160/768
Or, 32+2x=160/2
Or,2x=80-32
Or,2x=48
Or, x=24

Train is the onward journe?
[PBL SO/Officer-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Return speed of the train is x kmh
So,
Onward speed of the train be(x+x of 25%) =5x/4
The train halts for an hour
So,Actual time taken the train
(17-1)=16 hours

400/x + 400/(5x/4)=16
Or,400/x +400*4/5x=16
Or,(400*5+400*4)/5x=16
Or,x=(400*9)/(16*5)
Or, x=45
So, Onward speed of the train is =5x/4

=(5*45)/4
=56.25 kmh
Answer:56.25 km/h

65.A and B together can do a piece of work in 12 days, which B and C can do in 16 days.
After A has been working at it for 5 days and B for 7days C finishes in 13 days. In how many
days C alone will do the work?
Solution:
Work done by A & B in 1 day=1/12
Work done by B & C in 1 day=1/16
Let,
Work done by C in 1 day=x
From question,
Work done by A in 5 days+ B in 7 days+ C in 13 days=1
So,
(A+B)'s 5 days work+(B+C)'s 2 days work + C's 11x days work=1
[See Picture Combination work ]
Or, (5/12)+(2/16)+11x=1
Or, x =1/24
So, C alone can finish the work it in 24 days

In 2013,Y outlets income were up 7%
So, Y outlets net income in 2013 was
=(100+7)Y
=107Y
In 2013, X and Y outlets total revenue was
=(89X+107Y)
But,
2013 total revenue increased 1% from 2012 total revenue
=100(X+Y)+100(X+Y) of 1%

[Agrani Bank Senior Officer-2017]
Solution-1:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
15% profit on cost price
Then market price=X + X of 15%
=1.15 X Tk
Again 10% loss on market price
Then Selling price
=1.15x -1.15x of 10%
=1.035x Tk
=(1.035x - x) Tk
=0.035x Tk
When,
Profit.035x Tk then Cost Price=X Tk
--------3500Tk--------------------------
=[(3500*x)/.035x]
=1,00,000 Tk
Answer:1,00,000 Tk
Solution-2
Let, cost price = 100 Tk.
At 15% profit the market price of the product will be=100+15=115 Tk.
At 10% loss, the sales price will be=115-(115*10%)=Tk. 103.5 Tk.
So profit = 103.5-100= 3.5 Tk.
Now,
when profit 3.5 Tk. then cost 100 Tk.
when profit 3500 Tk. then cost (100/3.5)*3500=1,00,000 Tk.
So, real cost is Tk. 1,00,000 (Ans.)

both Passport and Voter ID. However, 15 of them could not produce any identity documents.
How many of them showed up only with Voter ID?
[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Total people=115
Undocments people=15
So,
Documents people=(115-15)=100
Both voter ID and passport have
=30
Let,
Voter ID have=x people
Only passport have=(65-30)=35 people
Only voter ID have=(x-30) people
So,
Only passport or Voter ID or Both
=35+(x-30)+30
35+(x-30)+30=100
Or, x =65
So,
Only voter ID have=(65-30)=35

monthly savings by Taka 100 in every following month. How much time would it take to
save Taka 106200?
[BKB OFFICER-2017][36th BCS]
Solution:
Let,
'n' months be required to save Tk 106200.
Here,
the savigns in the first month,
a = 1200 Tk
Increase in savings in each month, d = 100 Tk

n/2{2a+(n-1)*d}=106200
Or,(n/2){2×1200 + 100(n-1)} = 106200
Or,n(1200 + 50n - 50) = 106200
Or,n² + 23n = 2124
Or,n² + 59n - 36n - 2124 = 0

80. Solve the equation : 2{(x+3)/(x-3)}² - 7{(x+3)/(x-3)} + 6 = 0

[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Suppose,
(x+3)/(x-3) = P---------(1)
So,
2{(x+3)/(x-3)}² - 7{(x+3)/(x-3)} + 6 = 0
Or, 2p² - 7p + 6 = 0
Or, 2p² - 4p - 3p + 6 = 0
Or, 2p(p-2) - 3(p-2) = 0
Or, (p-2)(2p-3) = 0
So, either
P-2=0
(x+3)/(x-3) = 2
2x - 6 = x + 3
x=9
or,
2p-3=0
(x+3)/(x-3) = 3/2
3x - 9 = 2x + 6
x = 15
Ans: 9 or 15.
81. The area of a rectangle is 1200 square meter. If the length of the rectangle is reduced by
10 meters, it becomes a square. Calculate the length of the diagonal of the rectangle. [BKB
OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Length of the rectangle is=x
Width of the rectangle is=y
If the length of the rectangle is reduced by 10 meters, it becomes a square.
y=x-10--------(1)
We know that,
xy = 1200
Or, x (x-10)=1200
x² - 10x - 1200 = 0
(x-40)(x+30) = 0
Either,
x = -30 [It's not accepted]
Or,
x-40=0
Or, x=40
So, the width of the rectangle is
=40-10= 30 meters,
and
the length of the rectangle is = 40 meters.
So, the length of the diagonal of the rectangle is = √(40²+30²) = 50 meters.
Answer: 50 meters
82. A Rhombus has an area of 120 square meters and the length of its one diagonal is 10
meters. Calculate the perimeter of the Rhombus.
[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Let
The length of a side of the rhombus is = a meters,
and that of the other diagonal is
=d meters.
We know that,
area of a rhombus =1/2* (product of the lengths of the diagonals)
Or, 120 = (10×d)/2
Or, d = 24 meters.
Again, We know:
a² = (24/2)² + (10/2)²
a² = 169
a = 13
So,
the perimeter of the rhombus is = 4a = 4×13 = 52 meters.
Answer: 52 meters.
83. The area of an equilateral triangle is 3√3 square meter. Determine the area of a circe
inscribed within the triangle.
[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4)a²
So, (√3/4)a² = 3√3
=> a² = 12
=> a = 2√3
So, Semi-Perimeter of triangle = 3*2√3/2 = 3√3
Now, Radius* Semi-perimeter = Area
=> Radius = 3√3/3√3 = 1
Then, Area of circle = πr² = π*1² = π or 3.14 sqm (Ans.)

87.A does a work in 45 days whereas B does the same work in 36 days. A starts the work and
was joined by B after 18 days. If A gets total 2350 as his wage, find the money B will get?
Solution:
Traditional way/Exam Approach:
A's 18 day's work=18/45=2/5
Both (A+B)'s 1 day work
=(1/45)+(1/36)
=1/20 portion
Both Full work done
=(1*20*3)/5
=12 days
A 12 days work
=12/45=4/15 portion
B's12 days work
=12/36
=1/3
Ratio of work A & B
=(2/5 +4/15):1/3
=2:1
So,
2 portion work for paid =2350 tk
1 portion paid for
=(2350/2)=1175 tk
So, B will get =1175 tk
Answer:1175 tk
Smart or Faster method:

Question-1:In an organization, 30% of the employees live over 10 miles from the work. 60%
of employees who live who live over 10 miles from work,use company transport. If 40% of
employees of the company use company transport, what percentage of the employees live 10
miles or less from work and use company transport?
[Estarn Bank MTO-2007]
Solution:
Math Fact:
[Note: ক ক ক ১০ এ ক ক
৭০ ক X/ ১০০ ক ]
Let,
Total employee be=x
Live 10 miles over employee be

=x of 30%
=3x/10
Live 10 miles or less employee
=(x-3x/10)
=7x/10
Employees Live ove 10 miles and using company transport

=3x/10 of 60%
=9x/50
Total number of employees using company transport

=x of 40%
=2x/5

=(2x/5 - 9x/50)
=11x/50
Among x employees using transport and live 10 miles or less from work=11x/50 employees
So,
100 employees using transport and live 10 miles or less from work
=[(11x * 100)/50*x]
=22%
Answer:22%
Solution-2:
Let,
.
.
The total number of employees be=100
Employees live10 miles or less from work=100-30=70
Employees live over 10 miles and using transport=60% of 30=18
Total number of employees using transport=40% of100=40

=40-18=22

[Same As SEBL-2015]
Solution-1:
The market price of 1 unit goods be Tk x
So, 100 units of goods =100 x Tk
But ,at the time of buying,the merchant paid 100x Tk and received
=(100 + 100 of 10%)
=110
So, the real cost of 110 units to the merchant
=100 x Tk
At the time of selling,the merchant charged
=110x/100
So,
Sold of 110 units
=110*(110x/100)
=121x Tk
Net profit,
=121x-100x
=21x Tk
21x=630
Or, x =30 Tk
So,
The real cost price of the product
=100*30
=3000 Tk
Answer:3000 Tk
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
10% profit on cost price Then market price
=X + X of 10%
=1.1 X Tk
Then Selling price
=1.1x + 1.1x of 10%
=1.21x Tk
=(1.21x - x) Tk
=0.21x Tk
When,
--------630 Tk--------------------------
=[(630*x)/.21x]
=3000 Tk
Solution-3:
Let,
=110 Tk
Again,
=121 Tk
Now,
Profit=(121-100)=21 Tk
When
--------630 Tk -----------------------------------
=[(100*630)/21]
=3000 Tk
Answer:3000 Tk
Solution-4:====

Question-1:The cost of raw materials of a product increases by 30%, the manufacturing cost
increases by 20% and the selling price of the product increases by 60%. The raw material and
the manufacturing cost originally formed 40% and 60% of the total cost respectively. If the
original profit percentage was one-fourth the original manufacturing cost, find the new profit
percentage.
Solution:
Let,
The total initially cost of the product =tk.100
From Question condition,
Raw material cost =100*40%=40 tk
Manufacturing cost=100*60%=60 tk
Original Selling price=SP+Profit
=100+60*1/4=115 tk
Now,
New raw material cost
=40 +40*30%=52 tk
New manufacturing
=60+60*20=72 tk
New total cost=52+72=124. Tk
New selling price=115+115*60%=184 tk
New profit =184-124=60 tk
Required New percent

=60*100/124
=48.39%
Answer:48.39%
Question-2:A pipe can fill up an empty tank in 12 minutes. Another pipe flows out 14 litre
per minute. If the two pipes are opened together and the empty tank is filled up in 96 minutes,
how much water does the tank contain??
Let,
Water flow out x litre per minuter and
Total Water contains y litre in tank
This,
From Question condition,
y=12x..............(1)
Again when opened two pipe in the same time then the tank fill it in 96 mintues...
So,
y= 96x - 96*14...........(2)
From equation (I) and (ii) we get
96x - 96*14=12x
or, 84x=96*14
or, x=16
Putting the value in equation (I) we get,
y=12*16=192
The tank contains 192 litres of water

Ans:192 litres
Question-3:A number when divided by a divisor, leaves a remainder of 24. When twice the
number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the divisor??
Solution:
Let,
The original number be 'N'
Let, the divisor be 'd'
Let the quotient of the division of a by d be 'x'
Therefore, we can write the relation
As,
N/d=x
and the remainder is 24.
So, N=dx+24----------(1)
When twice the original number is divided by d, 2N is divided by d.

We know that N=dx+24. Therefore, 2N=2dx+48
The problem states that

{(2dx+48)/d}
leaves a remainder of 11.

2dx is perfectly divisible by d
and will therefore, not leave a remainder.
The remainder of 11 was obtained by dividing 48 by d.

When 48 is divided by 37, the remainder that one will obtain is 11.
Hence, the divisor is 37

Question-4:A, B and C can complete a work in 12, 15 and 25 days respectively. A and B
started working together whereas C worked with them in every third day. Find the number of
days required to complete the work.
:::
Solution:
A and B together can complete in 1 day
= 1/12 + 1/15
= 9/60
= 3/20 of the work.
A and B with the help of C can complete in 1 day
=(3/20 + 1/25) part of the work
= 19/100 part of the work.
So, their 3 days' work
= 2×3/20 + 19/100
= (30+19)/100
= 49/100 of the work.
So, their 3×2 = 6 days' work
= 49×2/100
= 49/50 of the work.
Remaining work
=1 - 49/50
= 1/50 of the work.
on the 7th day,
A and B will take 1/15 portion work

:::
Solution:
Suppose,
The prices of a shirt and a pant are Tk. x and Tk. y respectively. According to the question:
x+y = 1300 ----------------------- (i)
1.05x + 1.1y = 1405 ---------- (ii)
Subtracting from
(i)*1.1 - (ii)=»
0.05x =25
Or, x = 500
Substituting the value of x in equation (i) we get,
500+y = 1300 y = 800.
Answer: Shirt Tk. 500, Pant Tk. 800.

Question-1:The compound interest on a sum for 2 years is Rs. 832 and the simple interest on
the same sum for the same period is Rs. 800. The difference between the compound and
simple interest for 3 years will be?
[DSE, MTO-2017]
::::
::::
Solution:
Given that,
Simple interest for 2 years is Rs.800
So,
Simple interest for 1st year is Rs.400
and
Simple interest for 2nd year is also Rs.400
:
In Similarly,
Compound interest for 1st year will be 400
and Compound interest for 2nd year will be (832 - 400)= 432
So,we can see that compound interest for 2nd year is more than simple interest for 2nd year
by
(432 - 400) = Rs.32
i.e, Rs. 32 is the interest obtained for Rs.400 for 1 year
Rate, R =100×32*400×1=8%
Difference between compound and simple interest for the 3rd year
= Simple Interest obtained for Rs.832
P=800+32=832
R=8%
T=1 year
We know,
SI=PRT/100
=832×8×1/100
=Rs. 66.56
Total difference between the compound and simple interest for 3 years
= 32 + 66.56

hand price of category B share is Tk. 88 and it's dividend rate is 8%. If one wants to earn
same amount of dividend from both option what could be the ration of investment? (DSE
MTO 2017)
Solution:
Let,
Category of A share face value=A
Category of B share face value=B
So, Dividend got both share
12% of A = 8% of B
Or, 12A = 8B
Or, A:B = 2:3
So, investment, A:B
= 2*105 : 3*88
=35:44
Ans:35:44

Question-1:A, B, C can complete a work in 16, 32, 48 days respectively.After starting work 4
days later C left and B left 2 days before the completion of the work.How many days require
to complete the work?
::::::::::::::
Solution:
Let,
Total time taken is x days
x/16+(x-2)/32+4/48=1
Or,6x+3x-6+8=96
Or,9x=94/9
Answer:94/9 or 10.44 days
Alternative Solution:
LCM of 26,32&48 is 96
Let,
Total work=96
efficiency of
A= 96/16=6 units
B= 96/32=3 units
C=96/48=2 units
worked done by A,B,C in 4 days = (6+3+3)*4=44 units
worked done by A in 2 days = 2*6= 12 units
Remaining work
= 96-(44+12)
=40 units
remaining worked done by A&B
= 40/9
Total days = (4+2+40/9)=10(4/9) days
Answer:10.44 days
Question-2:The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of a rectangle field. The length
of the rectangle is three times of its width and the area is 768 sq.meter. How many square
sized tiles of 80 cm width will be required to cover the square field ?
:::::::::
Solution:
Let,
The width of the rectangle is x m
And the length of the rectangle is 3x meter
x*3x=768
Or, x=16
So,
The width of rectangle is 16 meter
And length of rectangle is (3*16)=48 meter
Perimeter of the rectangle
=2(16+48)
=128 m
Suppose,
Each side of the square is a meter
Since the perimeter of the square is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle
4a=128
Or, a=32
Area of the square
=32*32
=1024 square meter
=10240000 square cm
Each tiles wide is 80 cm
Area of the tiles
=(80*80) square cm
Required tiles need
=(10240000/6400)
=1600
Ans:1600
Question-3:Aman,Belal and Chad started a small business with a total amount tk

28,000.Aman paid tk 4500 more than Belal and Belal paid tk 7000 less than Chad.If the
company made a profit of tk 5600 .How much profit should Belal receive?
::::::::::
Solution:
Let,
Belal paid be x tk
Aman paid be (x+4500) tk
Chad paid be (x+7000) tk
x+x+4500+x+7000=28000
Or, x=5500
Belal paid=5500 tk
Aman paid=10,000 tk
Chad paid =12500 tk
Ratio of investment is
Aman:Belal:Chad
=10,000:5500:12500
=20:11:25
Sum of ratio=56
Total profit =5600 tk
Belal should receive profit
=5600*(11/56)
=1100 tk
Ans:1100 tk
Question-4:8/(2x-1) + 9/(3x-1)=7/(x+1)

Solution:
8/(2x-1)+9/(3x-1)=7/(x+1)
Or,8/(2x-1)+9/(3x-1)=3/(x+1)+4/(x+1)
Or,8/(2x-1)-4/(x+1)=3/(x+1)-9/(3x-1)
Or,{8(x+1)-4(2x-1)}/(2x-1)(x+1)={3(3x-1)-9(x+1)}/(x+1)(3x-1)
Or,1/(2x-1)=-1/(3x-1)
Or, 3x-1=-2x+1

Question:A team of workers was employed by a contractor who undertook to finish 360
pieces of an article in a certain number of days. Making four more pieces per day than was
planned, they could complete the job a day ahead of schedule. How many days did they take
to complete the job?
[BHBFC OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Let,
X number of article produce in a day
Days taken in the schedule time
= 360/X
Days taken when 4 articles are prepared extra per day
= 360/(X + 4)
:
The difference in the day is 1,
:
360/X - 360/(X+4)=1
X^2+ 4X–1440 = 0
X = 36
i.e. number of item prepared in general time is 36, and where 4 articles prepared extra is 40.
Therefore no of days taken to complete the job = 360/40 = 9
Schedule time taken=360/36=10 day's
Reduce time taken=360/40=9 day's
Alternative solution:
Let,
Schedule time taken x day's
But the job actually complete(x-1) day's
when 4 more articles produce in a day
Complete per day in schedule time

=(360/x) pieces
Complete per day in actual time
=360/(x-1)
Difference of pieces per day is 4

{360/(x-1)}-(360/x)=4
Or, (x-10)(x+9)=0
Here
X+9=0
Or, X=-9 [it's not acceptable]
Either
X-10=0
Or, X=10
So,
Schedule time taken 10 day's
But 4 more articles is produce in a day
then actually time taken to finish the job(10-1)=9 day's
Ans: According to the JK khurana Book 10 day's
AT Website 9 days

Math Fact:
*What is Successive division?
[Successive division খ ক এক ক খ গক এ এ গ
ক গ ঑ গ ক এক ক খ গক ]
Solution:
Let
The number be P
Quotient be X
First case
when divided by 4 quotient is X and remainder is 1
So P= 4x+1........(1)
Second case
Let Quotient be M
when divided by 5 quotient is
M and remainder is 4
X=5M+4
Putting X=5M +4 equation no (1)
P= 20M+17
considering M= 1,2,3,4........
P= 37,57,77....
37 or 57 or 77 etc number when divided successively 5 & 4 Remainder always 2 & 3
So respective remainder is 2 and 3
Answer:2,3
========Proof( ):============
**37/4
Remainder=1 & quotient=9
And
9/5
Remainder=4
So first condition is proof
Second case ====

Remainder=2 & Quotient=7
And
7/4
Remainder=3
So Answer:2,3
Question:A contractor undertakes to do a piece of work in 40 days. He engages 100 men at

the beginning and 100 men after 35 days and completes the work in stipulated time. If he had
not engaged the additional men, how many days behind schedule would it be finished?
[Same as PBL JO MCQ-2014]
Solution:
100 Men 40 days done 1 portion W
100 Men 35 days done 35/40«»«»«
=7/8 portion
=1/8 portion
Remaining days=(40-35)=5 days
Total worker=(100+100)=200
200 worker 1/8 portion done 5 day
1========1/8========== 5*200
100======1/8=========(5*200/100)=10 days
If he had not engaged the additional men,Then he needed
(10-5)=5 days more to finish the whole work in stipulated time
Answer: 5 days
Question:In a certain office, 1/3 of the workers are women, 1/2 of the women are married and
1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4 of the men are married and 2/3 of the married
have children, what part of the workers are without children? [MTB MTO MCQ -2013]
Solution:
Let,
The number of workers in the office is x
Female=x/3
Female + Married
=1/2 of x/3
=x/6 portion
Female + Married+ Children
=(1/3 of x/6)
=x/18 portion
From question,
Male=(x-x/3)=2x/3 portion
Male + Married
=3/4 of 2x/3
=x/2 portion
Male + Married+ Children
=(2/3 of x/2)
=x/3
Total worker with children
=x/3+x/18
=7x/18 portion
Total worker without no children
=(x-7x/18)
=11x/18
Required worker no children
=(11x/18)/x
=11/18
Answer:11/18
Question:The average weight of three men A, B, and C is 84 kg. Another man D joins the
group and the average now becomes 80 kg. If another man E, whose weight is 3 kg more than
that of D, replaces A, then the average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 79 kg. What is the
weight of A?
*[RAKUB SO-2014]
*[AB Bank -2002]
*[Al Arafa Bank-2016]
*[Meghan Bank-2014]
*[Premier Bank-2010]
*[One Bank-2008]
Solution:
The sum of Weight
A+B+C = 84×3 = 252 kg------(1)
If D join,total Weight of
A+B+C+D = 80×4 = 320 kg----(2)
So, the weight of D

=320 - 252 = 68 kg
And weight of E = 68+3 = 71 kg

Again, the sum of Weight of B+C+D+E = 79×4 = 316 kg
Weight of B+C+68+71 = 316 kg
B+C = 316-139 =177 kg
Putting the value of (B+C) equation no (1)
A+B+C=252
Or,A+177=252
Or, A=(252-177)=75
Answer: 75 kg

interest. Then after 6 month he paid borrowed amont along with interest totalling 994.5 taka.
After how many years of his first borrowing he paid his borrowings and interest?
Solution:
Total amount=(400+500)=900 Tk
Total interest=(994.5-900)=94.5 Tk
3.5% interest rate

400 Tk 1/2 years interest
=[(7*400)/(2*100*2)]
= 7 Tk.
Remaining interest=(94.5-7)=87.5 Tk
5% rate of interest
500 Tk 1 years interest
=(5*500/100)=25 Tk
25 Tk interest for 1 years

87.5 Tk interest(87.5/25)=3.5 years

Question-1:A dishonest merchant make a 15% profit at the time of buying and a 10% loss at
the time of selling the goods. By doing so if the said merchant made a profit of Tk. 3500 on a
particular item, what was the real cost of the item sold
Solution-1:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
15% profit on cost price
Then market price=X + X of 15%
=1.15 X Tk
Again 10% loss on market price
Then Selling price
=1.15x -1.15x of 10%
=1.035x Tk
=(1.035x - x) Tk
=0.035x Tk
When,
Profit.035x Tk then Cost Price=X Tk
--------3500Tk--------------------------
=[(3500*x)/.035x]
=1,00,000 Tk
Answer:1,00,000 Tk
Solution-2
Let, cost price = 100 Tk.
At 15% profit the market price of the product will be=100+15=115 Tk.
At 10% loss, the sales price will be=115-(115*10%)=Tk. 103.5 Tk.
So profit = 103.5-100= 3.5 Tk.
Now,
when profit 3.5 Tk. then cost 100 Tk.
when profit 3500 Tk. then cost (100/3.5)*3500=1,00,000 Tk.
So, real cost is Tk. 1,00,000 (Ans.)

Question-5:The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of rectangle. The lenght of the
rectangle is three times longer than its width having total area of 1200 sq.meter. what will be
the total cost cost if the total area of the square is covered with stones having a dimension of
50 centimeter square each & if tk.50 is charged for placing a stone in the square?
Solution:
Let,
Breadth of rectangle=x m
And length of Rectangle= 3x m
3x^2 = 1200
x= 20
Length of rectangle = 60m
Perimeter of rectangular
= 2(60+20)=160m
As per question,
Perimeter of rectangular= perimeter of squire = 160m
Side of square = 160/4
=40m or 4000 cm
area of square =(4000*4000)sq.cm
Square of stone
= (50)^2
= 2500 sq.cm
number of stones = (4000*4000)/2500=6400
Total cost = 6400*50=320000

1. Proof of identity of 115 people was verified. 65 of them had Passport, 30 of them had both
Passport and Voter ID. However, 15 of them could not produce any identity documents. How
many of them showed up only with Voter ID?
Solution:
Total people=115
Undocments people=15
So,
Documents people=(115-15)=100
Both voter ID and passport have
=30
Let,
Voter ID have=x people
Only passport have=(65-30)=35 people
Only voter ID have=(x-30) people
So,
Only passport or Voter ID or Both
=35+(x-30)+30
35+(x-30)+30=100
Or, x =65
So,
Only voter ID have=(65-30)=35
Answer: 35.
2. Rafiq, Shafiq, and Arif can alone complete a project in 10 days, 20 days, and 10 days
respectively. Rafiq started working on the project alone. Shafiq joined the project after 2
days. After working together for 4 days both Rafiq and Shafiq left the project and Arif got in.
How many days it took to complete the entire project?
Solution:
Rafiq can do in 1 day = 1/10 of the work
Shafiq can do in 1 day = 1/20 of the work
Arif can do in 1 day = 1/10 of the work
Rafiq first 2 days work done

=2/10 portion
=1/5 portion
Remaining work
=(1-1/5) portion
=4/5 portion
Both Rafiq & shafiq 4 days done
=(4/10)+(4/20)
=3/5 portion
Remaining work
=(4/5)-(3/5)
=1/5
Arif full work done in 10 days
Arid 1/5 portion work done
=10*1/5
=2 days
So, Total time taken to complete the whole work
=(2+4+2)=8 days
Answer: 8 days.
3. Mr. Rashid has saved Taka 1200 from his first month's salary. He plans to increase his
monthly savings by Taka 100 in every following month. How much time would it take to
save Taka 106200?
Solution:
Let,
'n' months be required to save Tk 106200.
Here,
the savigns in the first month,
a = 1200 Tk
Increase in savings in each month, d = 100 Tk

n/2{2a+(n-1)*d}=106200
Or,(n/2){2×1200 + 100(n-1)} = 106200
Or,n(1200 + 50n - 50) = 106200
Or,n² + 23n = 2124
Or,n² + 59n - 36n - 2124 = 0
Or, (n+59)(n-36) = 0
Either,
n = 36
Or,
n=-59[It is not accepted]
Ans: 36 months or 3 years.
4. Solve the equation : 2{(x+3)/(x-3)}² - 7{(x+3)/(x-3)} + 6 = 0
Solution:
Suppose,
(x+3)/(x-3) = P---------(1)
So,
2{(x+3)/(x-3)}² - 7{(x+3)/(x-3)} + 6 = 0
Or, 2p² - 7p + 6 = 0
Or, 2p² - 4p - 3p + 6 = 0
Or, 2p(p-2) - 3(p-2) = 0
Or, (p-2)(2p-3) = 0
So, either
P-2=0
(x+3)/(x-3) = 2
2x - 6 = x + 3
x=9
or,
2p-3=0
(x+3)/(x-3) = 3/2
3x - 9 = 2x + 6
x = 15
Ans: 9 or 15.
5. The area of a rectangle is 1200 square meter. If the length of the rectangle is reduced by 10
meters, it becomes a square. Calculate the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let,
Length of the rectangle is=x
Width of the rectangle is=y
If the length of the rectangle is reduced by 10 meters, it becomes a square.
y=x-10--------(1)
We know that,
xy = 1200
Or, x (x-10)=1200
x² - 10x - 1200 = 0
(x-40)(x+30) = 0
Either,
x = -30 [It's not accepted]
Or,
x-40=0
Or, x=40
So, the width of the rectangle is
=40-10= 30 meters,
and
the length of the rectangle is = 40 meters.
So, the length of the diagonal of the rectangle is = √(40²+30²) = 50 meters.
Answer: 50 meters
6. A Rhombus has an area of 120 square meters and the length of its one diagonal is 10
meters. Calculate the perimeter of the Rhombus.
Solution:
Let
The length of a side of the rhombus is = a meters,
and that of the other diagonal is
=d meters.
We know that,
area of a rhombus =1/2* (product of the lengths of the diagonals)
Or, 120 = (10×d)/2
Or, d = 24 meters.
Again, We know:
a² = (24/2)² + (10/2)²
a² = 169
a = 13
So,
the perimeter of the rhombus is = 4a = 4×13 = 52 meters.
Answer: 52 meters.
7. The area of an equilateral triangle is 3√3 square meter. Determine the area of a circe
inscribed within the triangle.
Solution:By Mainul Maksud Quaes Sir

Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4)a²
So, (√3/4)a² = 3√3
=> a² = 12
=> a = 2√3
So, Semi-Perimeter of triangle = 3*2√3/2 = 3√3
Now, Radius* Semi-perimeter = Area
=> Radius = 3√3/3√3 = 1
Then, Area of circle = πr² = π*1² = π or 3.14 sqm (Ans.

Solution:
Let,
24000*7.50%+x * 10%= (24000+ x) 9.25%
Or,[(24000*7.50)/100] +10x/100=
[(24000+x)*9.25]/100
Or, 180000 +10x =222000+9.25x
Or, 10x -9.25x =222000-180000

Or, 1/x=√5+√4---------(2)
From (1)&(2)
x+(1/x)=√5-√4+√5+√4=2√5
Now,
x^4+1/x^4
=(x^2)^2+(1/x^2)^2
= (x^2+1/x^2)^2-2*x^2*(1/x^2)
= (x^2+1/x^2)^2-2

Question:Two trains, train Alpha and Beta run in opposite directions on a circular track. Train
Alpha travels at a rate of 4π miles per hour and Train Beta runs at a rate of 6π miles per hour.
If the track has a radius of 6 miles and the trains both start from point Delta at the same time,
how long, in hours, after the trains depart will they again meet at
[GMATH]
Solution-1:
[এ Math এ এক Easy ]
Though,the direction is opposite but the track is circular
So,
The relative speed
=Bet's speed - Alpha's speed
=6π -4π
=2π m/h
Total distance of circular track
=2πr
=2π*6
=12π[Radius=6 miles]
We know
Velocity=Distance/Time
Or,Time=12π/2π
Or, Time=6
Answer:6 hours
Solution-2(Collected):=======
Circumference of the track = 2πr = (2)(π)(6) = 12π miles.
At a rate of 4π miles per hour, the time for Train Alpha to complete one revolution and arrive
back at point Delta = (circumference)/(rate) = (12π)/(4π) = 3 hours.
At a rate of 6π miles per hour, the time for Train Beta to complete one revolution and arrive
back at point Delta = (circumference)/(rate) = (12π)/(6π) = 2 hours.
Since Train Alpha arrives back at point Delta every 3 hours, and Train Beta arrives back at
point Delta every 2 hours, the time required for both trains to meet back at point Delta must
be a MULTIPLE of the two times:
3*2 = 6 hours.
In 6 hours, Train Alpha will complete a total of 2 revolutions (one every 3 hours), while
Train Beta will complete a total of 3 revolutions (one every 2 hours), with the result that both
trains will meet again at point Delta.
Answer:6 hrs
Question:A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk. The first contains 25% water and the rest milk.
The. second contains 50% water. How much milk should he mix from each of the containers
so as to get 12 litres of milk such that the ratio of water to milk is 3 : 5
[Indian Bix]
Solution:
Suppose,
Each can x and y litres of milk and water should be mixed to get water and milk=3:5
Can-1:
Water=x of 25%=x/4
Milk=x of (100-25)%=3x/4
Can-2:
Water=50% of y=y/2
Milk=50%of y=y/2
(X/4+y/2)/(3x/4+y/2)=3/5
=====================
======================
Or, x:y=1:1
Sum of ratio=1+1=2
Each can milk should be mixed
=12*1/2
=6 litres
Answer: 6 & 6 litres
Question:Tow varieties of sugar are mixed in a certain ratio.The cost of the mix per kg is tk
.50 less than that of the superior variety and tk .75 more than that of the inferior variety.What
was the ratio of superior variety to inferior variety in the mixture?
[MentorsQBank]
Solution:
Let,
Cost price superior variety=x
Cost price of inferior variety=y
Superior quantity unit=a
Inferior quantity unit=b
Total quantity mixture=a+b
Total cost price=ax +by
Mean price=ax + by/a+b
Suppose,
Mean price=z
X - Z=.50 or Z-X=-.50
Z - y=.75 or y- Z=-.75
Now,
Mean price=ax+by/a+b
Or,ax + by/a+b=z
==============
==============
==============
Or,a/b=(y-z)/(z-x)
Or,a/b=-.75/-.25
Or, a:b=3:2

Question :A speaks truth in 75% cases and B in 80% of cases. In what percentage are they
likely to contradict each other, narrating the same incident
Solution :
Let,
A = Event that A speaks the truth
B = Event that B speaks the truth
Then P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4

P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5
P(A-lie) = 1-3/4 = 1/4

P(B-lie) = 1-4/5 = 1/5
Now
A and B contradict each other =
[A lies and B true] or [B true and B lies]
= P(A).P(B-lie) + P(A-lie).P(B)
= (3/5*1/5) + (1/4*4/5) = 7/20
= (7/20 * 100) %
= 35%
Question:A man deposited tk 50000 at a certain interest for 1 yr.After 1 yr he received tk

55280 as both principle & interest after deduction of tk 120 as govt levy and 10% on interest
as govt tax.What was the interest rate in percentage?
[MentorsQBank]
Solution:
Here,
Deposited Amount = 50000 Tk
After 1 year
Receiving Amount = 55280 Tk
So,
Interest Received =(55280-50000)
= 5280 Tk
Govt Levy = 120 Tk
So,
Total(120+5280) = 5400 Tk which is (100-10)=90% amount internet
Now,
90% = =========5400
100%======
=[(5400*100)/90]=6000 Tk
Interest = 6000 Tk
Principal=50000 Tk
We know,
I = Pnr
Or, r=I/Pn
Or, r=[6000*100/50000]
= 12%
Answer:12%
Question:The ratio between the ages of Mary and her mother is 1: 2 and that of Mary and her
father is 1: 3 at the time of Mary's birth. Mary is 10 years old now. Find out the ratio between
the ages of Mary's mother and father at this age of Mary.
[GMATH]
Solution:
when Mary took birth,
The ratio between the ages of Mary and her mother is 1: 2
The ratio between the ages of Mary and her father is 1: 3
Let,
'x' is the age of Mary when she is born
Hence, we can say that her mother's age is 2x and her father's age is 3x---------i
Now,
Mary is 10 years old.
Therefore, from equation 1 we can say,
Her mother's age is 2x
i.e. 2 * 10 = 20
and her father's age is 3x i.e. 3 * 10 = 30 at this age of Mary.
Thus, the ages of Mary's mother and Mary's father are in the ratio 20:30 = 2:3
Solution-2:
Mary age:Mother age=1:2
Mary age:Father age=1:3
So,
Mary age:Mother age:Father age
=1:2:3
Let,
X is the present age of each
Mary age=x
Mother age=2x
Father age=3x
From question,
X=10
So,
Mother age=10*2=20 years
Father age=3*10=30 years
Ratio of Mother & Father
=20:30
=2:3

Question-1:The profit of a company is given in Taka by P = 3x²-35x+50, where x is the amount in Taka spent on
advertising. For what values of x does the company make a profit?
Solution:
Here, P=3x² - 35x + 50
Now,if the company makes profit,then P>0
So, 3x² - 35x + 50 > 0 => 3x² - 30x – 5x + 50 > 0
=> 3x(x-10) – 5(x-10) > 0
=> (x-10)(3x-5) > 0--------------(1)
As this equation(1) is greater than 0,
So the value of the two roots must have different values in different intervals.
Now,the equation(1),we have x>10
Or, the value of x less than 5/3 and greater than or equal to 0 i.e . 0 ≤ x<5/3,Because advertising cost can not be
negative
So, the company makes a profit,the values of x={0 ≤ x<5/3 or ,x>10}
Answer:x={0 ≤ x<5/3 or ,x>10} ::: :::

Question-3:Find the three digit prime number whose sum of the digits is 11 and each digit representing a prime
number. Justify your answer.
Solution:
Since the sum of the 3 digits is 11 and each digit represents a prime number,
So, the number less than 11 .
And the 3 digits may be 2,2,7 or 3,3,5
Because 2+2+7=11 and 3+3+5=11
Now using the digit 2,2,7 we have prime number 227 .
Because other two numbers i.e. 722 and 272 are divisible by 2
and
thus are not prime Similarly 353 is prime number other two numbers 533 & 335 is not prime number
In case of 227,
sum of the digits is 2+2+7 = 11.
And 2, 2, 7 all the digits are prime.
Similarly, In case of 353, sum of the digits is 3+5+3 = 11. And 3, 5, 3 all the digits are prime.

Question-4:If a/(q-r) = b/(r-p)=c/(p-q) then show that, a+b+c = pa+qb+rc
Solution:
Let, a/(q-r) = b/(r-p) = c/(p-q) = k
So, a = k(q-r);
b = k(r-p);
and
c = k(p-q) Now,
L.H.S. => a+b+c = k(q-r)+ k(r-p)+ k(p-q) = k(q-r+r-p+p-q) = k x 0 = 0
And, R.H.S. => pa+qb+rc = p*k(q-r)+ q*k(r-p)+ r*k(p-q) = kpq-kpr+kqr-kpq+kpr-kqr = 0
So, L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Showed) ::: :::
